Anyone who works a lot online knows the energy needs are great. For example I often leave my computer on all day and continually work on it. One solution would be simply to live in an apartment with wifi and utilities included. But for the many people who live in homes, apartments or any where else where they need to foot the bill, reducing energy costs is crucial. Solar power is one solution worth considering. Solar power is very popular with many start ups out on the west coast, where the desert sun gives people an amazing amount of energy. Generally the power is stored in some kind of grounded battery or is given over to the utility company for x amount of dollars. But many people just have small portable panels just good enough to keep the computer powered. They can work with all of the lights off. This is really a generator grade system, where people just need some ready energy. One issue with energy is getting a constant flow. For example some computers crash without total energy saturation. While others do well where the grid is not as powerful.

Money is largely imaginary. In my country money amounts to the exchange of debt. These bank created notes are basically paper that we all agreed could be exchanged for something else. Real things on the other hand hold real value. As money inflates, or is devalued an economy tends to lean towards things that really work like resources. For example a tree can turn into wood. The wood can be turned into a house. Therefore this tree is incredibly useful. Also the tree may produce nuts that can be eaten. We often for example lay claim to these nut trees through property rights. People who are rich in these resources ascribe large amounts of wealth. For example land with an oil well can make someone more wealth, than can a person who works in a corporation for money. Though this principle is not always true, sometimes hard work can out produce ascribed wealth, generally the laws of economics are with resource rich peoples and countries.

Many of these same economic laws can be applied to the online space. For example if a blogger is able to control a niche they are economically rewarded. They are able to amass more resources than a person with a website that gets 30 hits a day.
